    Looks like hero played his hand fine, got out when somebody let him know he wasn't ahead. The other guy shouldn't be doing this light with like KQ or QJ because of the size of the hero's stack. 33 makes a lot of sense here, I guess A Q could do the same thing. Although the hero did risk half his stack here, the blinds are still low.

    Given that there isn't any draws beside 56 it really look like a set. But with that said Hero committed a large portion of his stack to his hand, I don't like betting 5300 if he's going to fold.

    Hero has Q3 soooooted...Villian has 33 or a well played AQ. I'd lean toward 33 though. Hero plays his hand very poorly if it is anything other than Q3

    Edit: I don't see why he puts in the small raise with 99. He's OOP and if he thought he had the best hand he should have squeezed pre. As played he should be check/folding this flop after the second player calls. This isn't a draw heavy board and the Villain likely is showing his hand down after he floats behind jorge. This is a situation where your only chance to win with 99 is if the villain holds a hand like QJ, and you'd need to be firing way bigger than 5300 on the turn to put him off his hand. As played it looks like you went a little crazy, in a situation where your opponent wasn't folding. I rate the play as reckless spew, and the actions on all streets as poor.

    Hero played his 99 badly here. With 99 in the BB, I'm squeezing. Sure, the stacks are deep, but his ranges for raising in MP are wide. Villain obviously has a somewhat weak hand preflop. Squeeze pre and reevaluate after that. As for the hand as it played out, Villain likely has a hand like 33. He might shove AQ on the flop and there are no draws out there. Maybe a suited 43 if he's got some skill. Given that hero has 99, he has to fold. I don't like raising that flop at all. I likely open-fold flop because choosing that time to squeeze when an over has hit is suicidal.
